I made mention of this vehicle a few months back. All this effort for a mobile arctic base/lab/aircraft carrier, and they gave the damn thing SMOOTH tires!No wonder it didn't go very far after it was unloaded onto the ice pack.

After WWII, it was rediscovered and then left in place again, but was never found again after that expedition. Rumor has it that either the Soviets took it for themselves or that it was carried away when a huge chunk of the ice shelf broke off, and it's now at the bottom of the ocean after the iceberg melted.

In my favorite Clive cussler book, the main characters borrow a repaired and upgraded version of that big red machine and drive across the anartic and use it to defeat nazis.
